Firefly vodka

Basically this company makes sweet tea flavored vodka that is all the rage in the southeast (where I'm from) and I have no clue where to buy it here. The website says they distribute to NY, and I called the distributor but haven't been able to get through. Has anyone seen this stuff anywhere?! It's REALLY popular in the southeast so I imagine it'll hit the rest of the country at some point (it came out about 6 months ago) but I'd love to get some for a dinner party im having in a few weeks!

I'm in Nashville now, and it's available everywhere. Let me know if you want a bottle ($19.00ish, I believe), and I'm happy to pick up a few to bring back. I was obsessively trying to find this stuff in NYC and finally had it in October when I came down for my sister's wedding. I'm not sure if it's distributed in NYC yet (the Firefly website is wrong)--Astor had the Firefly Muscadine vodka, but not the Sweet Tea vodka when last I looked. Just let me know, I'm down here until the 4th.

It is REALLY good. I like it with just water and a squirt of lemon or with a bit of lemonade. I actually brought wayyyy too much home in October and kind of foundered on it, but I do think it's pretty awesome.

I love Nashville, too. We're back in Knoxville now and heading back to NY on Saturday. Let me know if you want some!

I called Southern Wine and Spirits (the distributor) and found out that within Manhattan, they sold the most cases of Firefly Sweet Tea to Warehouse Wine and Spirits, at 735 Broadway. I found several bottles there for $19.99.

The distributor also told me they had sold cases to Wines on First (224 1st Ave.) and Sutton Wine Shop (403 E. 57th St.) - if you see Firefly there too please add a note to this thread.

SOI was in Prospect Wine Shop last night and happened to have the remaining drops of my bottle of Firefly with me (en route to a dinner party) and mentioned that they should stock it because people are looking for it. Apparently one of the managers was ringing me up because he tried a little bit, asked me to google it on his work comp, found the distributor and said he would order a case!! SO

I'm not a fan of firefly the vodka (the tv show is awesome!), but I do like Prospect Wine Shop and have found things there that aren't commonly available like my favorite Finger Lakes wine Dr. Frank's.

Grapes, usually used in making dessert wines. Not a huge fan of firefly muscadine, but the sweet tea? Amazing.

muscadet is great. just didn't realize it was the same as muscadine. I like the dry versions ( I think james has a great by-the-glass) well, cause they rule. and I had a great transition dessert on a tasting menu at babbo that involved muscadet jello with wild strawberries in it dressed in sparkling muscadet, served with sparkling muscadet (those who know me realize it's the first time I've eaten an entire dessert since, well, some other time and place). yum.

so. is the muscadine vodka sweet? or just flavored?

Actually muscadet and muscadine are two different animals. Muscadet = Loire Valley; muscadine = the southeastern US, principally NC and FL. I do like muscadet, muscadine, eh, not so much. The firefly muscadine vodka is on the sweetish side, but so is the sweet tea, and I adore (read would cause bodily harm to someone for) the sweet tea, so I guess it's all just a matter of taste and all that.
